Find or create a shortcut to the TweetDeck executable.Pick your favorite color (yellow, silver, green, pink, blue, red or classic) and off you go! Which is why I’ve updated my previous replacement icons to incorporate the successful elements of the new design. That being said, the bird is still a little faceless for my tastes, lacking a certain element of personality or character. The minimalist treatment of the signature crow now feels connected to the application’s largely typographic, streamlined interface, and the containing shape solves my pet peeve of the icon disappearing against dark backgrounds. Though unpopular with some users, I believe the design is a step in the right direction. That’s how it works in Tweetdeck.Along with a handful of great features, TweetDeck 0.25 introduced a new icon. That’s not too bad, is it? Now look in the Scheduled column and lo and behold, it shows up, specifying both date and time:
Below it you can see the date and time selected: What if I do change the date? Then whether I also change the time or not, the “Tweet” button changes to specify the date. Now the “Tweet” button changes to specify the time: The top portion lets you easily select a time - and a click on AM switches it to PM and vice versa - while the lower portion lets you pick a day to publish, even one that’s weeks or months in the future!įor this first one, I’ll just schedule the tweet for later today by specifying a time but not changing the date. Now, to schedule it, click on “ Schedule Tweet” button just below the “ Add another image” option. The image I want to use is of the white sportscar. To start, I’ll type in a quick tweet and click on “ Add images” to add a photo: Pretty straightforward if you’re already a Twitter user: The “140” is the remaining character counter, you can add images by clicking on the button ingeniously labeled “Add images”, and you can send the tweet by clicking on “Tweet” once you’ve ready to go. That’s okay, it’ll fill up as you schedule tweets to go out in the future.īack on the main page, click on the box with the feather icon on the very top left to enter a new Tweet. Click to add it and now you should have a blank column on the screen. You can see that “Scheduled” is already selected - that’s why it’s a bit faded out - but on your screen it won’t be. I’ve blurred out the tweet so it’s not your eyesight that’s going when you think it’s a bit out of focus! On the left are the primary navigational options, and the one you want to start with is the “+”. To start, just go to and look on the top left. Right off the bat, you’ll want to add Scheduled as a column, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves! Everything’s in columns and by default your regular Twitter account is broken into live feed, mentions and messages. The only down side is that Tweetdeck has a rather peculiar interface that takes some getting used to. Doesn’t seem like a great idea to me, but fortunately there’s an easy alternative that’s actually from another product that Twitter makes available for users: Tweetdeck.
I’m not sure why Twitter is revamping its business backend yet again, but you’re correct that the company has announced that the twitter Ad Interface is up for a major update which will include eliminating its scheduler.
